Lovely staff, always very welcoming! My son absolutely adores his time at the nursery. He always comes home, and he’s been learning something new.
The manager is lovely too! Just a whole-hearted, nice place with lovely staff members and a great leader!

I've been using this nursery for over 10 years and it's excellent. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them. They are more like family. My children thoroughly love attending and have made lovely friendships/relationships with the staff and other children. Keep up the amazing work
you all do, you are all amazing. Thank you for everything you do.

My daughter has special educational needs is always accommodated into the nursery from meal times to amazing activities! The activities the staff prepare for the children are outstanding! The nursery also offers many open evenings/days where we as parents get to see how nurturing the staff are and I
can understand why all the children love attending this setting. My daughter loves her time in this amazing nursery and I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family! The staff always go above and beyond for the children and always offer amazing advice for parents.

All staff are wonderful people, I could not ask for better care for my son - (12 months).
Tweenie room is so inviting, colourful playful and calm all in one. It’s beautiful.
Very happy and helpful staff, always happy to help with any problems, smiley faces and warm welcomes all around means a lot
to us as parents as this lifts our moods also.
The care for our children is 5 star as the staff is fantastic and makes a great team.
Thank you The Cheshire Day Nursery.

My daughter has attended this nursery from 18 months old and loves it.
She started in tweenies, then Toddlers and now Kintergarden. It is an amazing nursery with great teachers. All teachers are very friendly and helpful, and my daughter adores them all. It's a big nursery with lots to do, and the
outdoor space is great. My daughter loves the food and has many friends here. She also gets sad when it's her day's off from nursery. She has learned a lot from this nursery, and it really is outstanding. It is bright and always very clean. I could not have chosen a better nursery for my child and will be sad when she finishes in August.

My son has attended the nursery since he was 1 and he is now 4 and ready for school. I wouldn’t have been able to go through the milestones without them helping me. All the staff are helpful and always willing to help with any questions you may have and they are always there to give advice if it is
needed. I can be an uneasy parent but they always helped me feel comfortable and I felt happy to leave him there knowing he will be looked after.
I can’t wait to watch my youngest child start in September and grow into an amazing young boy because he will be taught by them.
Thank you for everything!

The manager and assistant manager made me feel really at ease when my tot started last year. They were both super patient and considerate of us. Forever grateful for both of them and the rest of the team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My little boy has been in the nursery since November 2021. He loves going to nursery and runs into the rooms to play. We always feel welcome into the nursery, it is like a second home to us.
He absolutely loves the girls in the Tweenies rooms. When he gets unsettled or unsure about something he will
often go and sit on their knee for reassurance which helps me out a lot knowing that he’s got people there with amazing connections that can be like a second mum to him while I’m not there. They always tell me the exciting activities that they have been doing and he comes home in an excellent mood and is all smiley.
His transition from Baby room to Tweenie room was amazing, I was informed well in advance and was able to go and see the room and meet the staff within the room which was able to settle my mind a lot. All the staff are more than happy to help with any questions or queries I need; they always go above and beyond for us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.795 for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.795

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Guardian Street is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 113 number of registered child places is 22.6, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
